Prior to this, individual risk assessments were carried out for departmental staff needing to work in the building since the advent of COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p>The risk assessment was undertaken by the Department’s Health, Safety &amp; Wellbeing team in consultation with the Departmental Trade Union Side, with engagement from the Government Property Agency and ISS (our facilities contractor).</p><p> </p><p>Based on current social distancing measures and maintaining a COVID-19 Secure building, 84% reduction in workplace capacity was identified resulting in 13% of the Department’s staff being able to work in the 1 Victoria Street office at any one time, when compared to pre-COVID-19 levels.</p><p> </p><p>In line with the “Working Safely during Coronavirus guidance on office working”, the majority of staff are working from home.

This may include a lack of a safe, suitable working environment or a wellbeing concern.</p><p>The risk assessment results for 1 Victoria Street follow the Results summary of COVID-19 Risk Assessment for Civil Service Departments, which was published on GOV.UK by the Cabinet Office on 3 August 2020.

uin	133678
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2021 answer text <p>Before giving a COVID-19 vaccine, vaccinators must ensure that they have obtained informed consent from the individual or a person legally able to act on the person’s behalf and that this has been recorded appropriately. Where a person lacks the capacity to consent at the time of vaccination, in accordance with the Mental Capacity Act 2005, a decision to vaccinate may be made in the individual’s best interests once all practical steps have been taken to support the person to make the decision for themselves. The decision-maker acting on an individual’s behalf must consider all the relevant circumstances, including the person’s wishes, beliefs and values, the views of their family and what the person would have wanted if they had the capacity to make the decision themselves.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 02/02/2021 12:31:27 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
